Ed Mulholland\/Zuffa LLC<\/p>\n<p>Dricus du Plessis (+193 +2.7%) vs. Khamzat Chimaev (-235 -1.7%)<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">There has not been much movement on the line for our UFC 319 main event. That\u2019s a little surprising, since this line has been out for a very long time. Given that the public have had lots of time to bet on these two fighters, the fact it hasn\u2019t changed much reflects how accurate Vegas oddsmakers were when setting this line and reflecting what the public thought about the match-up.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Back in April Du Plessis opened at +185 and Chimaev opened at -225.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">There was a bit of movement on July 1. On that day Du Plessis\u2019 underdog line dropped to +144 and Chimaev\u2019s favorite line upped to -185. Since that, though, the lines have been steadily moving in the opposite directions with Du Plessis odds slightly lengthening and Chimaev\u2019s slightly shortening.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">That all makes sense to me. This match-up is giving me fits, when it comes to picking a winner. I can see scenarios where either man wins and that seems to be the case for Vegas and the betting public (and commentors on MMA Mania, who have largely said the same thing).<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">This is another example of the odds being a little cautious around Chimaev, despite how dominating he can look inside the cage. He opened as just a -195 favorite to Robert Whittaker (largely due to him being out for a year prior to the fight). The public backed \u2018Borz\u2019, though, and transformed that to -225.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Chimaev was actually an underdog when he fought Kamaru Usman. He opened at +170. Again, Vegas was probably taking into account Chimaev\u2019s long bouts of inactivity and history of illnesses and injuries. However, the public backed him again and flipped that line to -170.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Du Plessis has been an interesting case when it comes to line movement in the last few years. It seems Vegas doesn\u2019t have a lot of respect for his championship bona fides. However, the betting public sure does.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">In his rematch with Sean Strickland, Du Plessis opened as a slight favorite at -130. But the public pushed him to -210. Against Israel Adesanya he opened at +144 and closed at +100. And in the first Strickland fight he opened at +130 and closed at -108. Du Plessis won all those fights, of course, making the public look pretty smart.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">However, some of Du Plessis support from the betting public might not be from smart money. It might instead be from patriotic money. There\u2019s no way to see where the money is coming from in sports betting (at least not that I\u2019m privy to), but it seems like whenever a fighter from a underrepresented country rises up they draw a lot of money. It might be the case that, no matter the match-up, South African betters are going to shorten Du Plessis\u2019 odds.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Chimaev has a lot of regional support, too. But his boosters aren\u2019t likely to be gamblers, due to cultural attitudes in the Arabian Gulf and North Caucasus.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">In this case, a lot of South African money might be preventing Du Plessis\u2019 underdog line from ballooning, since \u2014 on paper \u2014 he seems like a decent sized underdog to the undefeated Chimaev.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">No matter what, though, I think we\u2019re in for a thrilling fight on Saturday. And if the public (outside of South Africa) are right, we\u2019ll be hearing Bruce Buffer say \u201cAnd New!\u201d when it\u2019s all said and done.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"_1eezmj01\" href=\"https:\/\/platform.mmamania.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/110\/2025\/08\/gettyimages-2230183860.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;crop=0,0.029513449700652,100,99.940973100599\" data-pswp-height=\"3950.6666666666665\" data-pswp-width=\"5926\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\"><img alt=\"Lerone Murphy and Aaron Pico face off before UFC 319.\" data-chromatic=\"ignore\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"fill\" class=\"w91vxg0\" style=\"position:absolute;height:100%;width:100%;left:0;top:0;right:0;bottom:0;color:transparent;background-size:cover;background-position:50% 50%;background-repeat:no-repeat;background-image:url(&quot;data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg' %3E%3Cfilter id='b' color-interpolation-filters='sRGB'%3E%3CfeGaussianBlur stdDeviation='20'\/%3E%3CfeColorMatrix values='1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 100 -1' result='s'\/%3E%3CfeFlood x='0' y='0' width='100%25' height='100%25'\/%3E%3CfeComposite operator='out' in='s'\/%3E%3CfeComposite in2='SourceGraphic'\/%3E%3CfeGaussianBlur stdDeviation='20'\/%3E%3C\/filter%3E%3Cimage width='100%25' height='100%25' x='0' y='0' preserveAspectRatio='none' style='filter: url(%23b);' href='data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mN8+R8AAtcB6oaHtZcAAAAASUVORK5CYII='\/%3E%3C\/svg%3E&quot;)\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/gettyimages-2230183860.jpg\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Lerone Murphy and Aaron Pico face off before UFC 319. Ed Mulholland\/Zuffa LLC<\/p>\n<p>Lerone Murphy (+138 +13.9%) vs. Aaron Pico (-169 -13.1%)<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Vegas had this fight as a pick \u2018em early on, with Murphy opening at +105 and Pico opening at -125. However, it seems the public thought there was a lot of value on the longtime Bellator man. Pico has been bet into being a pretty comfortable favorite in this match-up.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">That\u2019s great news for me! Murphy is one of my favorite underdogs on the card (since I\u2019m not that impressed by Pico\u2019s resume).<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The public faded Murphy in his last fight, against Josh Emmett, taking his line from -298 to -278. Those who bet against him were wrong, though, with Murphy taking a unanimous decision. In the past the public had shown more support for him. They turned his line from -170 to -275 in his win over Dan Ige and they turned his line from -142 to -155 against Edson Barboza.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Narrow odds are new for Pico. In his last fight, a revenge match with Henry Corales, he opened at -400 and closed at -430. Before that he opened at -800 and closed at -1200 against Pedro Carvalho. He won both those matches handily. Before those he opened at -260 against Jeremy Kennedy but was bet all the way down to -650. He then lost to Kennedy due to a shoulder injury, that was a horrible beat for all those Pico betters!<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">If the Pico betters are right this time, though, he\u2019ll start his UFC tenure off with a win. And, if he does get by Murphy, he might be the first Bellator signing since Eddie Alvarez to have a shot at taking home UFC gold.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"_1eezmj01\" href=\"https:\/\/platform.mmamania.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/110\/2025\/08\/gettyimages-2230183775.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;crop=0,0.027665797170179,100,99.94466840566\" data-pswp-height=\"4214.666666666667\" data-pswp-width=\"6322\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\"><img alt=\"Geoff Neal and a shirtless Carlos Prates ahead of UFC 319.\" data-chromatic=\"ignore\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"fill\" class=\"w91vxg0\" style=\"position:absolute;height:100%;width:100%;left:0;top:0;right:0;bottom:0;color:transparent;background-size:cover;background-position:50% 50%;background-repeat:no-repeat;background-image:url(&quot;data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg' %3E%3Cfilter id='b' color-interpolation-filters='sRGB'%3E%3CfeGaussianBlur stdDeviation='20'\/%3E%3CfeColorMatrix values='1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 100 -1' result='s'\/%3E%3CfeFlood x='0' y='0' width='100%25' height='100%25'\/%3E%3CfeComposite operator='out' in='s'\/%3E%3CfeComposite in2='SourceGraphic'\/%3E%3CfeGaussianBlur stdDeviation='20'\/%3E%3C\/filter%3E%3Cimage width='100%25' height='100%25' x='0' y='0' preserveAspectRatio='none' style='filter: url(%23b);' href='data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mN8+R8AAtcB6oaHtZcAAAAASUVORK5CYII='\/%3E%3C\/svg%3E&quot;)\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/gettyimages-2230183775.jpg\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Geoff Neal and a shirtless Carlos Prates ahead of UFC 319.

He opened at +235, but the public think he\u2019s got a real puncher\u2019s chance against Prates, whose shine was dulled by Ian Machado Garry last time out.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The public have been right on Neal lately. He lost to Machado Garry, too, and he did that with a closing line of +235 (after opening at +163). The public were also right to fade him against Shavkat Rakhmonov, turning his line from +350 to +420. And the public were right on Neal\u2019s most recent fight, taking his opening line of -170 against Rafael dos Anjos and shrinking it to -245. Neal beat RDA by TKO (injury), but he was well on his way to winning that one by more conventional means.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The public have also been right on Prates lately. They faded him against Machado Garry (+110 to +145) and backed him against Neil Magny (-600 to -770) and Li Jingliang (-265 to -320).<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The public just seem to have a really good feel for these two Welterweight KO artists.

The public seem fine with Vegas\u2019 estimation that Page is a slight favorite over the slightly older Cannonier. Cannonier opened at +150 for this fight and Page was -200.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The public were very wrong about Cannonier in his last fight. He opened as the -130 favorite against Gregory Rodrigues. But he closed as the +210 underdog. Cannonier then outlasted and finished Robocop to maintain his relevancy in the Middleweight division. Prior to that, the public was right to fade him against Caio Borralho and Nassourdine Imavov, though Cannonier put forth a very strong effort in both those fights.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Page\u2019s line dipped down to -225 between July 2 and 26, before creeping back up to where it is now. Just like they were with Cannonier, the public were very wrong with Page\u2019s last fight, too.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Page opened as the -120 favorite against Shara Magomedov and then closed at +180, before taking a very professional decision over \u2018Bullet\u2019 (or is that \u2018Pirate\u2019?).

In his last contest, back in 2023, Elliott opened at -180 against Sumudaerji. That line closed at -140 and then Elliott went out and scored the submission win. Strangely, the public backed him when he was a big underdog against Mohammad Mokaev. He opened at +400 there, but closed at +360.

She opened at +200, but her veteran savy and name recognition have likely combined to draw a lot of bets. The public fading Godinez has meant her opening line of -275 has shrunk to -149.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">That\u2019s a shame for me, since I feel this is a very good match-up for Godinez.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The public were right to fade Andrade in her last two fights.

Vegas initially had this as +175 for Ruzioboev and -250 for Battle. However, as you can see, the public thinks this is a much closer fight than that. Some of that public scrutiny for Battle might be due to him moving up in weight class for this fight (and Ruziboev already being very big for Middleweight). I\u2019d preach some caution there, though. Battle has a longer reach than Ruziboev and he\u2019s missed weight a bunch at Welterweight, so he\u2019s probably a pretty natural Middleweight.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The public have been right on Battle lately, backing him to beat both Randy Brown and Kevin Jousset.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Ruziboev has been faded by the public since he lost a main event fight to Joaquin Buckley, as a Welterweight. He beat both Dustin Stoltzfus and Eric McConcio, but both times his favorite line lengthened a little during fight week. To get faded against McConico was a little strange, given that McConico was a short notice opponent coming right off the regional scene.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"_1eezmj01\" href=\"https:\/\/platform.mmamania.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/110\/2025\/08\/gettyimages-2185177976.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;crop=0,0,100,100\" data-pswp-height=\"5186\" data-pswp-width=\"7779\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\"><img alt=\"Karine Silva will look to get back to winning ways at UFC 319.\" data-chromatic=\"ignore\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"fill\" class=\"w91vxg0\" style=\"position:absolute;height:100%;width:100%;left:0;top:0;right:0;bottom:0;color:transparent;background-size:cover;background-position:50% 50%;background-repeat:no-repeat;background-image:url(&quot;data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg' %3E%3Cfilter id='b' color-interpolation-filters='sRGB'%3E%3CfeGaussianBlur stdDeviation='20'\/%3E%3CfeColorMatrix values='1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 100 -1' result='s'\/%3E%3CfeFlood x='0' y='0' width='100%25' height='100%25'\/%3E%3CfeComposite operator='out' in='s'\/%3E%3CfeComposite in2='SourceGraphic'\/%3E%3CfeGaussianBlur stdDeviation='20'\/%3E%3C\/filter%3E%3Cimage width='100%25' height='100%25' x='0' y='0' preserveAspectRatio='none' style='filter: url(%23b);' href='data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mN8+R8AAtcB6oaHtZcAAAAASUVORK5CYII='\/%3E%3C\/svg%3E&quot;)\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/gettyimages-2185177976.jpg\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Karine Silva will look to get back to winning ways at UFC 319.

This has pushed Barbosa out to being a more moderate sized underdog.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The public were wrong to back Silva in her last fight. She opened at -230 against Viviane Araujo and closed at -275 before essentially giving up in the third round and handing Araujo the win. Barbosa got a ton of support last time out. She opened at -450 against Diana Belbita and closed at -1000. She would then go on to submit Belbita. The public were right to fade her, though, when she came in on short notice to fight Miranda Maverick.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"_1eezmj01\" href=\"https:\/\/platform.mmamania.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/110\/2025\/08\/gettyimages-2225698543.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;crop=0,0,100,100\" data-pswp-height=\"3184\" data-pswp-width=\"4776\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\"><img alt=\"Alibi Idiris will represent Kazakhstan at UFC 319.\" data-chromatic=\"ignore\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"fill\" class=\"w91vxg0\" style=\"position:absolute;height:100%;width:100%;left:0;top:0;right:0;bottom:0;color:transparent;background-size:cover;background-position:50% 50%;background-repeat:no-repeat;background-image:url(&quot;data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg' %3E%3Cfilter id='b' color-interpolation-filters='sRGB'%3E%3CfeGaussianBlur stdDeviation='20'\/%3E%3CfeColorMatrix values='1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 100 -1' result='s'\/%3E%3CfeFlood x='0' y='0' width='100%25' height='100%25'\/%3E%3CfeComposite operator='out' in='s'\/%3E%3CfeComposite in2='SourceGraphic'\/%3E%3CfeGaussianBlur stdDeviation='20'\/%3E%3C\/filter%3E%3Cimage width='100%25' height='100%25' x='0' y='0' preserveAspectRatio='none' style='filter: url(%23b);' href='data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mN8+R8AAtcB6oaHtZcAAAAASUVORK5CYII='\/%3E%3C\/svg%3E&quot;)\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/gettyimages-2225698543.jpg\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Alibi Idiris will represent Kazakhstan at UFC 319.

Lerone Murphy is my favorite, since I think he\u2019s a high calibre UFC Featherweight and Aaron Pico is yet to show he\u2019s not just a big fish in a small pond. I also like Jared Cannonier, mostly because he\u2019s made me look silly in the past. I think his grinding, in your face, game might give Page some problems. And I also think Dricus du Plessis is worth a punt, too. He\u2019s never not shown up in the Octagon. I don\u2019t think you can totally rule him out of any fight, even against an undefeated finishing machine.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Enough about me, though, which of these underdogs do you like the most?<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"_8x41x3d _8x41x3a\" href=\"http:\/\/go.web.plus.espn.com\/c\/482924\/595608\/9070?sharedid=MMAMania&amp;subId2=[]sb[p]22164124[t]w[r]mmamania.com[d]D\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><img alt=\"\" data-chromatic=\"ignore\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"fill\" class=\"w91vxg0\" style=\"position:absolute;height:100%;width:100%;left:0;top:0;right:0;bottom:0;color:transparent;background-size:cover;background-position:50% 50%;background-repeat:no-repeat;background-image:url(&quot;data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg' %3E%3Cfilter id='b' color-interpolation-filters='sRGB'%3E%3CfeGaussianBlur stdDeviation='20'\/%3E%3CfeColorMatrix values='1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 100 -1' result='s'\/%3E%3CfeFlood x='0' y='0' width='100%25' height='100%25'\/%3E%3CfeComposite operator='out' in='s'\/%3E%3CfeComposite in2='SourceGraphic'\/%3E%3CfeGaussianBlur stdDeviation='20'\/%3E%3C\/filter%3E%3Cimage width='100%25' height='100%25' x='0' y='0' preserveAspectRatio='none' style='filter: url(%23b);' href='data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mN8+R8AAtcB6oaHtZcAAAAASUVORK5CYII='\/%3E%3C\/svg%3E&quot;)\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/1755301169_7_UFC_319_Poster.png\"\/><\/a><a class=\"_8x41x3g _8x41x3b\" href=\"http:\/\/go.web.plus.espn.com\/c\/482924\/595608\/9070?sharedid=MMAMania&amp;subId2=[]sb[p]22164124[t]w[r]mmamania.com[d]D\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><img alt=\"\" data-chromatic=\"ignore\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"fill\" class=\"w91vxg0\" style=\"position:absolute;height:100%;width:100%;left:0;top:0;right:0;bottom:0;color:transparent;background-size:cover;background-position:50% 50%;background-repeat:no-repeat;background-image:url(&quot;data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg' %3E%3Cfilter id='b' color-interpolation-filters='sRGB'%3E%3CfeGaussianBlur stdDeviation='20'\/%3E%3CfeColorMatrix values='1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 100 -1' result='s'\/%3E%3CfeFlood x='0' y='0' width='100%25' height='100%25'\/%3E%3CfeComposite operator='out' in='s'\/%3E%3CfeComposite in2='SourceGraphic'\/%3E%3CfeGaussianBlur stdDeviation='20'\/%3E%3C\/filter%3E%3Cimage width='100%25' height='100%25' x='0' y='0' preserveAspectRatio='none' style='filter: url(%23b);' href='data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mN8+R8AAtcB6oaHtZcAAAAASUVORK5CYII='\/%3E%3C\/svg%3E&quot;)\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/1755301169_364_UFC_319_Poster.png\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>0<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup ls9zuh1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/go.web.plus.espn.com\/c\/482924\/531511\/9070?subId1=UFC318&amp;subId2=MMAMania&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fplus.espn.com%2Fufc%2F318\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">MIDDLEWEIGHT TITLE CAR CRASH!<\/a> Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) continues its 2025 pay-per-view (PPV) schedule on Sat., Aug. 16, 2025, with a blockbuster title fight set to headline UFC 319 from inside United Center in Chicago, Illinois.
